The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.

“The campaign is only gimmicky encounters. PvP is completely dead. There is almost no way to actually play the game.”

“Abandoned. No AI skirmish mode, really, like you'd expect if you're an RTS fan. Clunky and limited scenario maker for what IS there to make single player games. Basically, you have to design the enemy and the setup before fighting them…”
